The undersigned would call the attention of
 those who
 Have not Sold their Tobacco to an arrangement which we have recently
 made for
 Purchasing or Packing and
 Selling on the following plan to wit: We will receive the tobacco at the warehouse, assort and pack it, procure Insurance and storage, sample and sell it, with no expense to the owner until the crop is sold. Every crop to be Subject to the order ot the owner should he choose at any time to remove or sell it. We will also after the crop is assorted make each man a reasonable
 CASH OFFER for his tobacco should he wish to sell. We trust this is an opportunity which farmers will appreciate, for it puts them on an Even Footing vy1tl. the .suycr. It must also be apparent to any who have had experience that our facilities for selling through MT Soues extensive acquaintance with the largest dealers of the country will
 give us 8
 Great Advantage over the individual farmer, as we can also do all the work, including our commission, with much less expense on each crop than if the grower should pack and sell it himself. We shall begin packing about February 18th. For full particulars, cost of packing, selling, etc., call on or address
